Vision King – Laser Brazing

Technology Description

The main objective is to identify defects and imperfections in the weld’s structure and formation, including:

Porosity

Porosity in the laser brazed seam

Burn-through

Burn through in the laser brazed seam

Lack of Material

Lack of filler material in the laser brazed seam

Humps

Humping in the laser brazed seam

Cavities

Cavity in the laser brazed seam

Computer vision applied to laser brazing inspection has become an essential solution for ensuring the quality of joined automotive parts. Vision King utilizes cameras and image processing algorithms to detect defects, irregularities, and specific surface characteristics of the steel that are difficult to identify with the naked eye.
